Legendary Woodsman

I am very fond of Nightwing. He is, essentially, the well-adjusted Batman. We all know how cool Batman can be but sometimes Bruce needs to chill out a bit. Nightwing was raised under Batman as the first Robin and he grew up to be a hero in his own right. It feels, as though, Richard Grayson gets the short end of the stick more often than not. He was the protector of Blüdhaven but then an earthquake called him back to Gotham, when he returned, they dropped a chemical monster on his city and he had to move to New York. So Batman dies (actual explanation more complicated) and Dick inherits the mantel and goes back to Gotham. And now Bruce is back and Nightwing got demoted.  Rough.

On this piece, I’m experimenting with colouring the pencils directly without the inks. There are probably many steps in Photoshop that I could have taken… hopefully the method I took doesn’t washout the overall feel of it.

Thank you,

I love getting fan art. It’s wonderful to see that someone has dedicated their time and effort out of their busy schedule and made something special. If you’d like to submit some Legendary Woodsman art, please contact me.

Hero of Song and Story!

One of my earliest memories is that of being a Hercules fan. The Mighty Hercules series was my Saturday morning cartoon for years and even though I had probably watched every episode a dozen times, I would keep watching it.

I have memories of fashioning a power ring from twist ties and going to my older-cousin’s house where she was hanging out with her school friends and I would hold my fist out and make thunder noises as the great Zeus would imbue me with the powers of an Olympian demi-god. Needless to say, I was mocked endlessly for this behaviour.

Sure, it was the 80s and the cartoon was made in the 60s… and yes, all the monsters sounded the same (it’s my new ringtone)… but there’s something about a Greek god hanging out with a centaur and satyr defending Prince Dorian and Helena from evil witches and wizards.

Use Gyo!

I’ve been reading a lot of Hunter X Hunter lately, so for this installment of F3, I thought I’d draw up Gon Freaks. He’s your typical child character with tremendous potential who levels up incredibly fast when faced with life-threatening danger and a tenacious indomitable spirit. It’s the way we all wanted to be.

Gon was created by Yoshihiro Togashi.
